I submitted an application and was selected as a volunteer five years ago, and they’ve been bringing me back ever since,” says the mother of three who moved to San Antonio seven years ago and now serves on the White House’s executive decorating team.Still, while flowers are Barkley’s passion, she says that she’s taken a more modern approach to the business. The choice has allowed the freelance florist to create stunning seasonal displays for the exterior of Feliz Modern and other local businesses and also to craft masterpieces for private residences, large parties and small gatherings. Her work often incorporates flowers plus fun accents, such as piñatas, pinwheels, Italian crepe paper flowers, ornaments at Christmas and “crafty” items like ribbon chandeliers. “I actually consider myself more of a maker than a florist these days,” says Barkley, who uses her Instagram profile as a portfolio for her latest work and ideas.But, her floral roots run deep and will always be the centerpiece of her work. “When you are young and grow up immersed in something you think you’ll get out of it when you are older,” she says. “Then you realize that you can’t because it’s part of who you are.”Amanda’s Favorite Things1 / Paper to Petal “This is a how-to book for making paper flowers.

Inside UrbanStems' Mission to Remake the Flower Delivery Business: 'There Are Great Days and There Are Horrible Days' - Inc.

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

Jeff Sheely. They launched UrbanStems, a direct-to-consumer flower delivery company that bypasses the traditional model, in which consumers buy bouquets via national aggregators who then use local florists for delivery.The D.C.-based startup has had some growing pains--including a disastrous 2017 Valentine's Day-- but it's blossomed into a flower powerhouse, landing at No. 385 on the 2019 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private U.S. companies.At UrbanStem's D.C.-area warehouse, shown above, bouquets get a final trimming, packaged, and then handed to couriers for same-day local delivery. Prior to delivery, quality control workers remove any unhealthy flowers, but leave damaged outer-layer petals in place on buds that are otherwise in good shape. This helps protect healthy petals during transportation, and the customer can remove the damaged petals upon delivery.UrbanStems tries to make its customers feel like a community by engaging throughout the year. "In October, we did something for breast cancer awareness," says CEO Seth Goldman. "My wife was diagnosed in July, and I sent out a very personal letter. The response we got from people was amazing. We have the kind of product that allows us to have authentic, emotional conversations with our customers."Valentine's Day is an intense time for any flower company, but February 13, 2018, is a day that Goldman will always remember vividly. Having recovered from the disastrous Valentine's Day the year before, the company decided to partner wit... https://www.inc.com/magazine/201909/kate-rockwood/urbanstems-seth-goldman-ajay-kori-flower-bouquet-delivery-2019-inc5000.html

Wild Honey Flower Truck is a florist that can put the pedal to the metal. Or is that petal? Or maybe even peddle?Actually, all three apply.The baby blue 1963 Ford pickup truck is a pop-up florist able to travel to farmers markets, street festivals and any number of corporate events and public gatherings.It’s an idea that bloomed when Kelsey Sizemore and her husband, Josh, saw similar flower operations outside of Alabama.“We had seen a couple of similar businesses in other cities and we thought it was something that Birmingham would really love,” Kelsey Sizemore said.If you’re going to have a flower truck, it has to start with the truck.“We started by looking at trucks on Craigslist and eBay,” Sizemore said. “We decided on the kind of truck that we liked.”[embedded content]Wild Honey Flower Truck is blooming in Birmingham from Alabama NewsCenter on Vimeo.When they found a potential truck in Ohio, Sizemore sent her father-in-law to check it out.

A Career in Bloom - San Antonio Magazine

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

Mandy the Mantle Girl,” as she is known at the White House (yes, that White House), has a floral career that took root when she was a girl growing up in College Station. A third-generation florist, she spent her youth helping out at her grandmother’s floral shop, Nita’s Flowers.“Our entire lives were based around the shop and doing parties and events,” she recalls, adding that Nita’s is still going strong today. “Christmas was especially big for us.”Also “big” was a recurring job providing fresh flowers to President George H.W. and Barbara Bush whenever they stayed at their College Station apartment. That led Barkley to start dreaming of taking her floral talents to even bigger presidential quarters.“I submitted an application and was selected as a volunteer five years ago, and they’ve been bringing me back ever since,” says the mother of three who moved to San Antonio seven years ago and now serves on the White House’s executive decorating team.Still, while flowers are Barkley’s passion, she says that she’s taken a more modern approach to the business.

Her unique varieties have caught the eye of many, including Colorado brides.“They want a wildflower look for their wedding,” Schley said. “They don't want a traditional bouquet from a florist. They want something that's more wild. And so they're coming to me buying buckets of blooms that I arrange in a color palette for them. I give them the bucket, and they do all the arranging.”And, they're available for your home, too. You can purchase a membership called a CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture. You pay a small fee up front to take advantage of the flowers throughout the season."So, they take a risk with me and trust that I’m going to grow these flowers,” Schley said. “And then, during the peak of the season, they come to the farm and pick up a large market bouquet.”There are tulips, daffodils and sweet peas in the early season. Lavender, sunflowers, and dahlias come in the late season, just to name a few.“This is Chinese Forget-Me-Nots, which just make any bouquet just pop,” she said, pointing to the flowers.But, it's a personal touch she’s harvesting year-round.“Now is the time — August, September, all the way until it frosts in October,” she said. “That's when you should be taking advantage of all the bounty, the color, that we have coming from our fields.”Schley and her husband also have a reality TV show on PBS and Create TV called "Urban Conversion" that follows their journey of city farming. It's in its third season. https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/arvada-flower-farmer-embraces-colorful-colorado-in-business
